Florida rampage: Utility staffer attacks co-workers with baseball bat and knife; 2 dead, 1 critical

An electrical worker from Pennsylvania who was working at a job site in Florida went on a rampage with a baseball bat and a knife early Saturday, resulting in the deaths of two co-workers and leaving a third fighting for his life, authorities said.

Authorities said Runyon punched a supervisor at work around 2 a.m. Friday and fled. He was not seen or heard from until around 9:45 a.m. Saturday when police received a report of a murder in Davenport, Florida, in a neighborhood where Runyon and his co-workers were being housed by their employer.

According to authorities, Runyon beat one victim to death with a baseball bat while the victim was asleep in bed, and a second victim was found dead on the front porch. A third victim was badly beaten and was in a hospital in "extremely critical condition."
